Abstract
In floating rice, stem elongation begins much earlier than in non-floating rice, which is the major survival mechanism for flooding. Inheritance of this early elongation ability was studied using diallel and quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses. The diallel analysis was undertaken using a set of 6×6 half-diallel crosses involving four floating (‘Goai’, ‘Habiganj Aman VIII’, ‘Badal 106’, and Oryza rufipogon strain W120) and two non-floating (‘Latisail’ and ‘Patnai 23’) parents. The additive gene effects were higher than the dominant effects. The dominant alleles were concentrated in the cultivated floating parents (‘Goai’, ‘Habiganj ‘Aman VIII’, and ‘Badal 106’), whereas the recessive alleles were in the wild floating parent (W120). A QTL analysis using a ‘Patnai 23’ × ‘Goai’ F2 population detected two putative QTLs. Of these QTLs, the one on chromosome 12 behaved as a partially dominant major gene that explained more than half of the total genetic variation.
